SUAD sought, and supposedly obtained, assurances on the Verizon ticket problem. But you wouldn't know it from the GT administration statement in BrentAxe's PS article Friday (which implies, per link below, that GT is releasing only a "standard ... allotment"). I'm assuming that the new "allotment" is more than the old BE conference standard -- which was only a couple hundred ducats for staff and players' families.  We would need ten or twenty times that number in order to restore our fan presence in DC. I'm cautiously hopeful this will improve, not because GT has suddenly decided to be sportsmanlike, but because it needs the dough -- last couple games it couldn't sell more than 11-12k to Hoya insiders and was rumored to have given tickets away to the homeless. Are they for real?

Business as Usual from GT:

[B]“As is standard in agreements such as these, the visiting team will receive an allotment of tickets and the home team will control the sale and distribution of all remaining tickets,” a Georgetown spokesman said via e-mail. “The visiting team and home team are free to sell/distribute their ticket allotments as they choose. Georgetown Athletics plans to continue its practice of providing priority access for tickets to those who buy multi-game plans or who support Georgetown Athletics.”[/B]
